- Chef and My Fridge. - Chef and My Fridge.
(Chef and My Fridge)
(I...)
(know)
(What?)
(I know somebody has to have night snacks)
Do we have Seo Tai Ji as today's guest?
- Today? - No way.
They are the Grim Reapers of Diet.
Here is the legion of eight chefs.
(Legion of 8 chefs)
Why did you suddenly sing that song?
It was a hint for today's guest.
- Your song's related to him? - It was an indirect hint.
- Really? - Yes.
We have Seo Tai Ji today?
- It doesn't make sense. - Right.
- Is it some special episode? - I'm sure you know who he is.
He's here as today's guest.
They are best friends who are known as the Korean Wave stars.
- Then it must be Seo Tai Ji. - They're here as today's guests.
Let me introduce you to our guests. Please join us!
- Here. - Who is it?
Korean stars in Asia. Immortal entertainers.
They're Korean stars in Asia.
(Kim Soo Yong and Jee Seok Jin)
Kim Soo Yong and Jee Seok Jin.
Welcome.
It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
He has a positive look.
Are you in a good mood?
(Normally, he has a poker face.)
Soo Yong is in an excellent mood today.
- Is he? - Yes, he is.
He's in his best condition today.
I feel amazing.
- Did you force yourself to come? - No.
- I'm being careful. - I really wanted to be on the show.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I will introduce the two guests.
By the way, is it "I Know"?
I was very upset behind the stage.
It is not "I know".
(It's the title of Seok Jin's debut album.)
This is how it goes.
- I see. - It is the same "I Know".
Whose song was released first?
In 1992...
Our songs were released at the same time.
- With Seo Taiji and Boys? - Yes.
Our songs were released almost at the same time.
- Almost at the same time. - With songs of the same title...
Won't you introduce me?
- It's because... - It's his turn first.
there was a controversy.
- Shall I introduce you first? - Yes.
I'll introduce our guests today.
I'll start with the one next to me.
If Lee Dong Wook is the Grim Reaper in drama,
the original Grim Reaper in comedy is this man.
He's been a rising star in entertainment for 29 years.
Also known as Soo Dragon, this is Comedian Kim Soo Yong.
Hello, I'm Kim Soo Yong. It's nice to meet you.
Your voice sounds cheerful.
You got back in a good mood again.
Yes.
- I feel great. - There must be a reason.
- I never saw him this cheerful. - Me neither.
- I feel so great today. - That's good.
And our second guest.
Including China, Hong Kong, and Indonesia,
he's known as a 50-year-old...
- Korean star of Asia. - Stop it.
However, he's just known as Big Nosed Seok Jin in Korea.
- It's Comedian Jee Seok Jin. - Jee Seok Jin.
With that being said,
can you say hello in different languages?
Hello.
I'm Big Nosed.
It's nice to meet you. Thank you.
Say something to your fans in Indonesia.
Hello.
Wow.
Thank you.
(He's always ready to say foreign phrases.)
He's a Korean Wave star indeed.
- Don't call me that. - Why?
I feel embarrassed.
- Don't. - I heard it.
It must be embarrassing to say it himself.
But he has a huge number of fans.
It's much bigger than what we think.
He's an amazing Korean Wave star.
However, everything you say is right.
- We will find out... - I'm joking.
if everything is true during the shoot.
- Let's confirm. - We'll confirm.
Both of them are members of The Legendary Big Mouth.
They're known as best comedian friends.
- They've been friends for 28 years. - Is that so?
They were both born in 1966.
Didn't you enter the National College Comedy Contest?
- Right? - I entered the contest in 1991.
Seok Jin entered the contest two years later.
He's my senior.
Not many people know this.
Seok Jin and I were a comedian duo.
- What? - Really?
From 1994 to 1995,
we worked as a team for a year.
- "Big Laughter Operation" was... - "Big Laughter Operation".
one of the programs.
There was no reaction, though.
- We did it for one year. - No one knows that we were in it.
No one knows to this day.
We kept working as a pair.
We expect that you'll make us laugh by saying things that are...
too outrageous for TV.
Let's start talking about the two of you in thorough detail.
Kim Yong Man is also a member of The Legendary Big Mouth.
Yes, there's also Yu Jae Seok.
What is Yu Jae Seok's Curse?
I'll explain.
There was a long period when I wasn't on TV.
I was on TV only sometimes.
When I was on TV,
Jae Seok told me, "I saw you on TV yesterday. Things are looking up."
That's what he would say to me.
When he told me that, I had nothing scheduled for six months.
(Feeling upset)
I hope Jae Seok won't watch me on Chef and My Fridge.
- He shouldn't watch. - I can't hear him say that...
he enjoyed watching it.
Does the curse work on you...
or on the show?
Does the show disappear?
That's possible.
He stopped a show recently.
Is it a show hosted by Jung Hwan?
- He was the last guest on the show. - Right.
I completely ended the show "Curious Husband's Get Away".
He said this as a joke to the director while in the car.
"This isn't the last shoot, is it?"
And the director got very surprised.
"Pardon me?"
However, he's an iconic figure of the long run.
- That's true. - He's with us.
When I start something, it lasts over five years.
That's right.
- Six years on "Star Golden Bell". - That's true.
I was on "Heroine 6" for five years.
That's right.
I've been on "Running Man" for nine years.
How long have you been married?
- Pardon? - How long have you been married?
When did you get married?
It's been about 18 years.
He's still married to his first wife.
Why did you hesitate?
When he gets something, he doesn't let it go.
- You're in great condition today. - Yes.
It's the best.
He's full of spirit.
How is he feeling when he reacts like that?
He's ecstatic.
- Most people would... - Yes?
dance around if they're as happy as him.
I saw him this happy 3 or 4 times in my life.
- Is that true? - This is great.
This is something that I always say about Soo Yong.
If his unique sense of humor is...
recognized by the entire country, he'll definitely become popular.
- They will never get enough of it. - They will never get enough of it.
- I already recognized it. - So...
if we wait a few years...
- It will take 30 years. - 30 years?
- You have one year left. - A year remains.
I feel burdened.
- I'll say 40 years. - 40 years?
- It's been 29 years so far. - 29 years.
(There's one additional Soo Yong fan.)
Next year will be your 30th year since your debut.
- Right. - It's been that long.
However he's only been active for three years.
(Where did the 26 years go?)
I was a trainee for 20 years.
Yes, that's right.
It's been almost 30 years since their debut.
- We're with immoral entertainers. - "Immortal entertainers"?
- I'm not Admiral Yi Sun-shin. - True.
They're two immortal entertainers.
According to Seok Jin's words,
he says he can invite Soo Yong even one hour before any show.
Usually, we invite people to the show about two weeks in advance.
I host a radio show.
And I was making phone calls during the show.
I said, "Soo Yong, I invite you tomorrow to the show."
He agreed and came the next day.
I went on the show.
He really came.
He invited me a day before.
- Did you really go the next day? - I went on the show.
I accepted the invitation to Chef and My Fridge in 20 minutes.
- You accepted in 20 minutes. - 20 minutes?
20 minutes after the call.
Why did you need 20 minutes?
- I felt somewhat burdened. - Why?
When you watch the guests on the show,
they describe the taste as they eat.
"It tastes like the sea."
(That's an example.)
Do we say such a thing when we eat at home?
"Mom, the small octopus is dancing in my mouth."
I get goosebumps from it.
Do I have to talk like that on Chef and My Fridge?
- Some dance after eating. - I know.
There are some who express by dancing.
- It's a terrible day for chefs... - It's too burdensome.
who will cook for Soo Yong.
I know him very well.
No matter how delicious the food is,
he eats it like it tastes bad.
When I ask him, "Does it taste bad?"
He says, "It's very good."
This is what I say...
when the food is very delicious.
- It's quite good. - "It's quite good"?
Is that the best expression?
- He has to say, "quite". - "Quite"?
He has to say, "quite".
If he just says "it's good", he doesn't mean it.
- He has to say, "It's quite good". - "It's quite good."
"I want to eat it again."
- "I want to eat it again." - It means it's the best.
I see, so you have to add the "quite".
Here's another hint.
He doesn't smile often.
There's something that he does when he finds something hilarious.
- What is it? - He smirks.
- This is... - He smirks?
It means that it's hilarious.
- It means I'm dying of laughter. - Is that so?
Some people might misunderstand.
- It'll be a challenge. - When he says "it's quite good",
he means that it's amazing.
Seok Jin will interpret his expressions today.
Since he knows him well.
As his best friend,
- Seok Jin also said this. - What is it?
"I've been swindled by Soo Yong."
- During "Puzzle Limited Train"... - It was a long time ago.
- Yes, it was a long time ago. - He teases me a lot.
Do you remember? Was it done by Jung Jae Hwan?
- He said, "Meow". - "Little mouse meow".
"Little mouse meow".
(On "Puzzle Limited Train")
(A quiz program that started in 1993)
(Meow in white snow)
(MC Jung Jae Hwan)
(Saying "meow" loudly is key.)
It was a program...
that all rookie comedians wanted to be on.
It was popular among rookies.
Then I got invited.
- You got invited to the show? - Yes.
- So I imagined myself... - It was an opportunity.
saying "meow",
and leaving a good impression on the show.
It was five days before the shoot.
A woman called me.
- Was it a writer? - Yes.
She said, "I'm calling from Puzzle Limited Train."
- "I'm sorry." - "Why?"
"The manager said that you're not good enough."
- You were only a rookie. - Right.
She asked me if I can do a good job.
I said, "Of course. I'll do my best."
- Of course. - "Can you shout meow..."
"loudly enough?"
I said, "Of course."
She asked me to say it.
I said, "Meow!"
(Smirking)
What on earth?
It just seemed too strange.
- It does smell fishy. - Soo Yong asked...
a female comedian to prank call me.
It was during break time because I was bored.
- Did you tell her to call him? - Yes.
- I told her what to say to him. - Seriously.
I wrote her a script.
I wrote, "Are you good at quizzes?"
Seok Jin said, "Yes, a month ago,"
"I won in the men's team on Family Entertainment."
He took advantage of his desperation.
That wasn't the only thing.
We didn't have cell phones back in 1994.
Many of us used pagers.
Park Soo Hong's older brother was...
His brother worked as my manager.
So I used to call him "Hong".
Yong Man asked me, "What's Hong's pager number?"
"Tell me his pager number." Then Seok Jin said,
"Who is Hong?"
Yong Man replied, "She's a really pretty girl."
So I played along with Yong Man and said,
"Don't you think she would get along well with Seok Jin?"
He said, "They will make a great couple."
So Yong Man went along with your joke.
So we told Seok Jin,
"We'll tell her in advance that you'll give her a call."
Seok Jin sort of rejected our idea and said, "Come on."
But he put the note that had the pager number in his pocket.
Then you know what happened?
At that night,
Seok Jin left a voice note.
(Seok Jin left a voice note late at night.)
"Ms. Hong?"
(Seok Jin was a lonely man when he was in his 20s.)
"I'm not sure if you heard about me from Yong Man or Soo Yong."
"I'm Jee Seok Jin."
"It's getting late."
"Good night."
("It's getting late. Good night. Kisses.")
- Hey! - Goodness.
- My goodness. - Come on.
He blew a kiss at her when he had not even met her?
- Goodness. - Seriously?
- That's hilarious. - I didn't blow kisses.
You didn't even know her face.
- But did you leave a voice note? - It's not true.
Did you leave a voice note?
It's not that I didn't leave one.
Did she call you back the next day?
Hong hasn't talked about that until today.
But he called Soo Hong about it.
He told Soo Hong, "Hey, Seok Jin's quite weird."
(Hong must have thought that Seok Jin's weird.)
Hong and I used to hang out a lot during the day.
But I left a voice note to him as if I was talking to a girl.
(Goodness)
You should have explained about this.
Hong would know about it if he watches this.
Why did you pull such a prank?
It's really hilarious. If I don't pull pranks,
my hands start to shake.
- It's like a withdrawal symptom. - If you don't make pull pranks?
- Yes. - But don't you think...
Seok Jin is too kind.
I found it funny too.
They play along with the joke.
That's why we get along well too.
Soo Yong's known for...
his dark circles under his eyes.
I heard that you suffered from panic disorder because of dark circles.
It's not panic disorder, it's airport disorder.
- Airport. - Airport?
- Airport? - Airport.
- Airport disorder? - Right, airport.
I often get caught in the customs...
because of my looks with dark circles.
I'm not sure if I should say this.
But you would get dark circles if you take drugs.
- That's right. - That's how they make...
drug addicts look like in the movie.
I went to the US a few years ago.
My luggage was...
locked with a tag when it came out from the conveyor belt.
I was like, "What's this now?"
I used to get caught a lot at the airport in the past...
because I filled papers with wrong information.
- Custom declaration forms? - Yes, those forms.
I checked yes in all the check boxes when I was supposed to check no.
You checked yes in every box.
I checked yes for questions like, "Do you possess any drugs?"
"Are you carrying monetary medium more than 10,000 dollars?"
Then I checked yes.
You checked yes for "Are you carrying any guns?"
Yes, I did that by mistake.
So the customs held me back. I asked them, "What happened?"
They said I was illegally carrying crocodile leather.
Crocodile leather?
They thought I was smuggling.
They said it was all scanned in the X-ray system.
Why on earth would I carry crocodile leather to the US?
I was so dumbfounded and opened up my luggage.
It was dried filefish.
It can sort of look like crocodile leather under the X-ray.
So it made sense for them because the man who carried...
the luggage had dark circles.
He looked like a smuggler.
So I explained to them and said,
"It's dried snack."
- Dried snack? - Dried snack.
You mean dried snack for drinks?
- Dried snacks. - He then asked me back,
"Snake?"
- He got it wrong again. - He thought it was snakeskin.
This time he thought it was snakeskin.
I was like, "No, it's not!"
I was so frustrated...
and decided to show them how I could eat it as a snack.
Then the man approved me through the customs.
- So that's the airport disorder. - Right.
I get held back at the airport, so I call it airport disorder.
- Right. We get it now. - That's the story behind this.
People ask you if you are going to...
get your dark circles treated, don't they?
I got a call from a plastic surgeon.
"I want to work on your dark circles."
(His dark circles created passion in him for research.)
"What? Work on my dark circles?"
- He wanted to treat them for you? - Yes. That's what he said.
He said it would be at no cost. He was even willing to pay me.
Goodness.
- It would be a promotion tool. - He thought I could be the model.
I thought about it for a moment, but rejected his offer.
- I didn't think it was necessary. - Why don't you get rid of them?
In fact, I could work as a comedian...
because of my dark circles. That's how I got cast in shows.
They're like symbols of good fortune.
I shouldn't get rid of them.
If you imagine Soo Yong not having them,
he wouldn't look like Soo Yong anymore.
They're part of his identity now.
Of course.
(Don't get rid of your dark circles.)
Now it's time to...
take a look at what's inside Soo Yong's fridge.
- Three of you use this fridge? - That's right.
My wife and my daughter who's 11 both use the fridge too.
I see. She's 11.
Your number one anti-fan is your daughter.
I saw that in the news.
My daughter said that she has never laughed...
when she saw me on TV.
- She said I was too boring. - You're too boring for her.
She even asked me once,
"How did you become a comedian?"
- Really? - That's harsh.
That's what his girl said.
She asked me that very seriously.
"How did you even become a comedian?"
Recently, she thinks I can be funny from time to time.
But she thinks I'm still not that funny.
Your daughter's quite harsh on you.
She's training him hard.
She's a trainer.
All right. Let's check out his fridge.
We'll take a look inside his fridge.
Your fridge is nice.
That's not really our fridge.
- It's not? - No.
Because I was about to join here...
You know how it's very dusty under the fridge.
So I pulled my fridge out to clean the floor.
You grabbed the handles?
Yes. I grabbed them and pulled the fridge out.
And that led to the metal handles getting bent.
And they said the door could fall out.
If that really happens,
then it could get awkward between the production crew and me, right?
You are right.
He's right.
I've been using that fridge before I got married, since 2005.
- Really? - So it's about 14 or 15 years old.
That's why I couldn't bring that here.
But it looks like your fridge, right?
- Yes, with 2 doors. - With 2 doors.
It's Soo Yong's fridge.
Let's take a look inside Soo Yong's fridge!
- Gosh, it's neat. - It's very neat.
- You arranged them neatly. - It's very neat.
Let's take a look.
- Gosh, it's neat. - It's very neat.
(Neatly arranged)
You arranged it.
- I know, right? - You made it too neat.
It's not me. My wife likes to put things neatly.
- So she's the neat type. - Of course.
Great. Let's check them out one by one.
- Check the first shelf. - These must be their favorite.
The first shelf is full of soybean paste.
You have four jars of soybean paste.
- It's as big as a crock. - I know.
- The one in the red lid is makjang. - Makjang?
That's right. My mom sent me that.
- I see. - It's makjang.
I love makjang.
What do you eat it with?
- You don't know makjang? - No, I don't.
- He's a mess. - You dip it with vegetables.
You're Korean. How can you not know what it is?
How do you eat it?
You can make soups with that.
You use makjang for soup?
(And...)
I don't think he knows either.
- It's a type of sauce. - A sauce?
He doesn't know it too.
- A sauce? - He has no idea what it is.
So you like Korean food?
Yes, I do. I like stews.
- I love soybean paste stew. - Soybean paste stew.
- Soybean paste stew is my favorite. - He likes tofu stew too.
- Yes. - So he likes Korean food.
What's next to this? Is this some pottery?
It must be something valuable. What is this?
- It must be honey. - Dried yellow corvina gochujang.
Dried yellow corvina gochujang?
- It's delicious. - It's marinated with guchujang.
- That's really good with rice. - Right.
- Goodness. It's inside the pot. - He must really love it.
- Yes. - I eat like a stingy man.
It's expensive so I eat in small portions.
So you say, "It's quite good." when you have this?
- It's quite good. - So it's quite good.
- You like this type of food. - Dried yellow corvina.
It's something he likes a lot.
- Well, what's next? - What's this?
- Isn't it fermented sole? - It is fermented sole.
- Goodness. - Fermented sole.
My mother's from Samcheok, Gangwon Province.
So she sends me that sometimes.
- That's really good. - That's delicious.
- Fermented sole's good with rice. - It's really delicious.
I don't usually have fish.
But I enjoy fermented fish.
- I don't usually have fresh fish. - Why not?
I had steamed carp when I was a kid.
- Carp? - I haven't had fish since then.
- It was fishy, wasn't it? - He's traumatized.
- It was too fishy. - It has the fresh water smell.
But steamed carp's really good too.
I had it when I was young.
I thought that my friendship with fish was over.
- But you like fermented ones. - I do.
So you don't like that fishy smell.
I really hate steamed fish.
- Steamed fish? - But it's really good.
I absolutely hate steamed fish.
How about steamed crabs?
I have seafood like crabs.
I don't eat things with fish scales.
- You don't eat fish then. - With fish scales.
But dried yellow corvina gochujang is okay for you?
- It's covered... - It's fermented.
with gochujang.
I can eat it because I don't see fish scales.
What he sees affects him a lot.
What's this behind the jar?
It looks like pickled radish.
That's Japanese food.
- It's narazuke. - Narazuke?
- That's narazuke. - What's narazuke?
It's fermented cucumber.
It's fermented with rice wine lees.
I like that.
I really like fermented food.
Fermented ones.
He's a hyena.
- I like fermented ones. - A hyena.
- A hyena? - He likes spoiled meat.
(He looks for spoiled meat.)
His appetite is like a hyena's.
Goodness. Look at his appetite.
He keeps fresh things for a long time.
He likes fermented food.
My least favorite one is fresh food.
He hates fresh food.
How about sashimi?
Please spoil it.
- Please spoil it before serving. - He likes fermented food.
So you must like fermented skate.
I love fermented skate.
I can't eat that.
- That's totally fermented. - That's right.
I just realized that we have different appetites.
Let's move on to the next shelf. What is this?
It's marinated abalone.
- There's salted pollack roe. - Salted pollack roe.
He has nothing that's fresh.
This is salted as well.
Everything that he has is fermented.
That's unbelievable.
There's cheese when it comes to fermented food.
I love cheese.
- Here's cheese on this side. - I love cheese.
- There's cheese for pizza. - There's a lot.
Kim Bo Sung and I went to...
the same elementary schoool.
He ate a lot of cilantro on this show.
That's right.
(Him eating cilantro became the talk of the town.)
(It's as if a tiger is eating grass.)
No matter how much he likes it, how could he eat it like that?
I almost called the broadcast network.
It felt scripted to me.
You wanted to point that out?
I can eat cheese like Bo Sung.
(Soo Yong can devour cheese.)
Do you like cheese that much? Isn't it heavy?
I love cheese.
"I love cheese".
Grilled dried whitebait.
This is slightly fishy, isn't it?
- There's gochujang on it. - Indeed.
My mom gave it to me.
It's delicious by itself, but also good...
- when slightly grilled. - Right.
From looking at your fridge,
do you not cook with fresh ingredients?
Everything can be microwaved and are ready-made.
All you have to do is grill dried whitebait, right?
Isn't it already cooked?
- Grilling is cooking. - "Grilling is cooking"?
- Is it dried laver in the back? - Yes.
- It's dried laver. - You like dried laver.
I like dried laver.
- It doesn't need to be cooked. - Dried laver.
- This is seaweed fulvescens. - Are they snacks?
- It' seaweed fulvescens. - Seaweed fulvescens.
- I like it, and it's easy. - It comes in packets these days.
When I eat tteokguk or ramyeon,
I put a packet of seaweed fulvescens.
- Is it dried seaweed fulvescens? - Yes.
- It's seaweed fulvescens. - It's well packaged.
Isn't seaweed fulvescens fishy?
It isn't fishy.
- Seaweed fulvescens is nutty. - It's okay. I like it.
He doesn't eat fish because it's too fishy,
but there's a lot in here that's fishy.
These are shrimp and blue crab.
Blue crab is quite fishy.
I like things such as shrimp and blue crab.
I don't like to eat blue crab as it is.
- It's bothersome to eat it. - Me neither.
He doesn't like troublesome things.
It's delicious, but it's bothersome to pick crabs.
- It hurts my teeth. - Right.
Don't make him food that's troublesome to eat.
This is packed with instant food.
There's nothing fresh.
Is this duck?
- It's smoked duck. - Smoked duck?
I don't eat fresh duck.
- No fresh duck? - Are you fleeing?
- It's emergency food. - Food that can be stored for long.
Here's why I like smoked duck.
- It tastes like ham. - It does.
So he likes ham.
- It's ham made with duck. - That's right.
For dark circles under your eyes,
fresh ingredients such as salmon are...
The food I hate the most is what eliminates dark circles.
- Like salmon? - That's right.
I detest salmon.
DHA must be good for him.
- I hate blue-backed fish. - He didn't get surgery on purpose.
- I hate blue-backed fish. - I see.
It means that he punches his eyes before going to bed.
Every night.
(He's Soo Dragon indeed.)
He punches himself a lot the night before a shoot.
(He makes endless efforts to maintain his dark circles.)
- That's why they spread out. - Yes.
I hit myself with a club.
(His skillful wrist snap)
- Goodness. - His trademark is his dark circles.
I love dark circles.
He eats nothing that gets rid of dark circles.
- I don't. - That's funny.
- There are eggs. - Here are some eggs.
- I love eggs the most. - Eggs?
- You know what? - "It's quite good."
- It's his favorite. - It is very delicious.
- "It is very delicious." - "It is very delicious."
I like rolled omelet and steamed egg.
I also love fried eggs.
Eggs are the best.
He has the taste of a child.
I have the taste of a child.
He likes side dishes made with eggs.
What's in the fresh food drawer?
(What about the fresh food drawer?)
This is cilantro.
- Cilantro. - Cilantro?
- There's cilantro. - Do you eat cilantro?
There are two packets.
I like Southeast Asian food very much.
- I didn't know that. - I like it.
There are many Southeast Asian sauces.
- Tom yum paste. - Fish sauce.
- You like Southeast Asian food. - I do.

- There's a lot of pork belly. - Bacon.
- He likes pork belly. - He likes meat.
I do.
- There are some beer. - Yes.
Do you drink sometimes?
That's my wife's.
- I don't drink. - He doesn't drink.
- He doesn't? - He doesn't.
I can drink about 50cc of draft beer.
"50cc"?
- "50cc"? - 50cc.
It's not even 500cc.
We once went to a bar, and he ordered 500cc of draft beer.
Over 2.5 hours, he ate 5 dishes of food.
- He had half of his beer left. - Half.
- Half of his beer was left. - There were three of us.
He left without finishing it.
(Startled)
- What? - What is it?
- What's this? - Is this why...
he gets stopped at airports?
What is it?
They're syringes.
They aren't syringes. It's medicine.
It's teeth whitening product.
Before going to bed, I put a few drops of it...
on a mouthpiece. I put it in my mouth and sleep.
- It has to be stored in the fridge. - It's a teeth whitening product.
- Is it yours? - Yes.
- It's okay to have dark eyes... - What about your eyes?
- but your teeth have to be white? - Only his teeth are white.
My eyes must be dark, but teeth must be white.
His teeth must be white for...
his dark circles to stand out.
- It's to give it more emphasis. - That's true.
- That's true. - Yes.
That's accurate.
Let's look at dried food.
There are lot of snacks.
There are only ramyeon noodles.
I love handmade burgers.
- These must be it. - Hamburger buns.
I love handmade burgers very much.
I hope the chefs will make me a handmade burger,
so I bought some buns.
Raymon is a little flustered.
You only have pork belly meat.
- How about a pollack roe burger? - Pollack roe burger.
It could be a fermented sole burger.
- "Fermented sole burger"? - "Fermented sole burger"?
It gives me goosebumps.
- "Fermented sole burger"? - What?
Does fermented sole burger sound good?
My mouth is watering.
His mouth is watering.
Add some pollack roe.
(Mouthwatering)
They're both fermented.
- Add salted squid. - Even add salted squid.
We took a look inside Soo Yong's fridge.
- To maintain his dark circles, - To maintain them...
he makes a lot of effort.
He prefers fermented food to fresh food.
There must be some unpleasant smell...
to consider it food.
He's a hyena in cooking.
How about Chinese stinky tofu?
I bet he likes that.
That's delicious.
That's the most delicious.
Stinky tofu is hard for me to eat.
- It's hard to eat stinky tofu. - It's not easy.
That's impressive.
- Yummy, yummy. - "Yummy, yummy".
Yummy, yummy. Delicious, delicious.
- I see. - "Delicious, delicious".
He's in such a good mood.
Let's see what Soo Yong wants to eat.
Please show us what he wants to eat.
Show us.
This is what Soo Yong wants to eat.
(Kim Soo Yong's requests)
"Burgers of Darkness That Will Help Him Maintain the Dark Circles".
I love fast food and instant food.
Those can give you dark circles.
(His self-care is very thorough.)
I see.
I was proud that my favorite food can maintain my dark circles.
I hope the chefs will make food...
that can maintain my dark circles.
- I'd like a burger of darkness. - "Burger of darkness"?
A burger that's so dark that it startles you.
In entertainment,
Soo Yong's personality is the best for horror.
He's the one and only.
He could be invited to many events...
during Halloween.
Every day is Halloween for me.
- "Halloween"? - "Halloween"?
It's Halloween because he's alone.
- "Halloween". - "Halloween".
It's always October 31.
- Is Halloween on October 31? - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
That's my wedding anniversary.
It's a lucky day.
- "A lucky day"? - "A lucky day".
Your request is burgers of darkness from the underground.
Next is "Southeast Asian Food is Delicious".
I like Southeast Asian food.
I want to feel as if I'm in Pattaya.
That I'm next to Ben Thanh Night Market in Ho Chi Minh.
With ingredients in my fridge, I hope the chefs will make food...
that brings the atmosphere of Southeast Asia to life.
That sounds good.
Which chefs will be assigned...
to Soo Yong's fridge?
Here they are.
Sam Kim, Oh Se Deuk, Yu Hyun Su, and Jeong Ho Young.
It's the first cook-off with...
ingredients in Kim Soo Yong's fridge.
They're competing for the first time this season.
It's a competition between Hyun Su and Sam.
They competed a lot last year.
They competed six times.
Hyun Su won 4 times out of 6.
He was ahead of him.
He took four stars.
I heard that Hyun Su was quite confident.
I'm not confident because of my stars.
Today's theme is dark circles.
And I have dark circles as well.
- Where? - What do you mean?
Do you have dark circles?
It's because the makeup team applied makeup on me.
Without the makeup, you'll see how big they are.
(The chef who empathizes)
I didn't know.
I have a personal view on dark circles.
So I think I can help him.
Now people brag about their dark circles.
I can't believe it.
Chef Hyun Su.
Don't you eat food that gets rid of dark circles?
To eat what gets rid of them,
you must know what's bad for them.
I'll cook the reverse.
(His sense of trust increases.)
I'll stay faithful to the theme...
and cook.
In that case, Sam might be at a disadvantage.
He is.
He likes natural food.
He focuses less on that these days.
He has a lot of snack food.
(Ingredients that match the theme)
Today,
I'll make greasy food that's delicious.
He'll think, "This is enough to maintain my dark circles."
Sam has learned from him.
Is that what he said? Did you see him imitate Hyun Su?
He's smiling.
He's making an effort.
Chefs will need to interpret correctly.
Interpretation is key.
It must make Soo Yong say, "It's quite good".
He must say, "It is".
Food that makes me lethargic.
It shouldn't be just "it's good".
(Take care of my dark circles.)
(Hyun Su chose hamburger buns, dried laver, cheddar cheese, mozzarella,)
(shrimp, relish, cream pasta sauce, canned ham, bacon, kimchi,)
(pork belly, blueberries, whipped cream, potato, and spicy snack.)
(Sam chose burger bun, pork belly, bacon, smoked duck, blueberries,)
(sliced cheddar cheese, mozzarella, cream cheese, whipped cream,)
(relish, milk, potato, and spicy snack.)
Hyun Su, what kind of dish will you make?
The name of the dish I will make is...
Burger with Laver.
- Burger with Laver. - Burger with Laver.
- Burger with Laver. - What is that?
I will wrap a burger in dried laver and deep-fry it.
Dried laver.
- You will use dried laver. - The color will be...
Dried laver.
The burger will be dark in color.
I will use the ingredients he likes...
such as fermented sole and kimchi.
I will make garlic dipping sauce...
so that you can dip the food in it.
Whole pork belly is very nutritious,
so I will use thinly sliced pork belly today.
The two are the same thing.
The patty will be made with ham and thinly sliced pork belly.
- Ham. - Yes.
Most burgers are served with French fries.
Today, I will make deep-fried shrimp in snack batter.
I will make a snack batter...
because snacks are high in sodium.
I will make deep-fried shrimp in snack batter.
Why would you talk about sodium as if it's vitamin?
Is sodium related to dark circles?
Sodium is the biggest factor.
Food that is high in sodium...
concentrates body fluids to the eyes.
(Sodium creates a vicious cycle.)
It could aid in creating dark circles.
All right.
Sam is going against him today.
What kind of dish will you make?
The dish I will make today is...
Sam Donald's.
- Sam Donald's. - Sam Donald's.
Burger with Laver and Sam Donald's.
- Sam Donald's. - They are two popular chains.
Firstly, my dish will maintain...
the appearance of a burger.
- That's important. - However, the filling will be...
as oily and cheesy as possible.
It will be very greasy...
and tasty.
I will also make a dessert.
- A dessert? - Yes.
After trying the dish,
you will feel that your health has deteriorated.
(Hee Tae makes a comeback just for today's theme.)
Since when did Sam talk about making unhealthy food so easily?
I know.
He is the result of capitalism.
- Chef of capitalism. - Chef of capitalism.
Chef of capitalism.
Isn't it the chefs' first time to make unhealthy dishes?
It's our first time to have a guest who wants dark circles.
Right?
You will only try these dishes once.
That's right. I can't have these dishes every day.
Let's begin the match.
The fallen naturalist, Sam...
and the Grim Reaper of Chef and My Fridge,
Hyun Su will compete against each other.
Which chef will help Soo Yong...
maintain his dark circles?
We will now start the burgers of darkness cook-off.
All right.
- They will work on the patty first. - The patty.
They won't be done in 15 minutes unless they work fast.
Does the match really end after 15 minutes?
- There is the clock behind us. - Really?
They are making burgers.
(Thinly sliced pork belly, starch, and canned ham)
(Patty for Sam Donald's)
(Smoked duck, thinly sliced pork belly, and bacon)
It looks like both of them will blend some ingredients.
(Blend the ingredients for the patty.)
(Cook the patty in a pan.)
That came out in no time.
Sam, you used duck for the patty.
Yes, I used duck.
Duck patty.
(Hyun Su becomes competitive.)
Duck is very nutritious.
It will remove dark circles.
- It will remove dark circles. - Duck does that.
Sam is adding cheese.
(Add mozzarella and salt to the patty...)
(and fry in an oiled pan.)
That's the patty.
Garlic dipping sauce.
It's too healthy. Garlic is too healthy.
- It's too healthy. - It's too healthy.
I am adding a lot of sugar...
- to negate its healthy factor. - Sugar.
The healthy factor will disappear.
I don't know if this is right,
but they are following Soo Yong's wish.
(Microwave minced garlic, sugar, and cream pasta sauce...)
(to make the garlic dipping sauce.)
(Slice potato thinly on a mandoline slicer...)
(and deep-fry in oil.)
He is deep-frying the potato.
(My goodness.)
(Slice the onion thinly.)
(Coat onion in a batter of flour, egg, and water and deep-fry.)
Onion. He is deep-frying the onion.
- Onion rings. - Onion rings.
- Onion rings. - Onion rings are tasty.
That's right.
They are the best.
Onion relieves physical fatigue.
That won't happen once it's deep-fried.
(They are too absorbed in the theme.)
For a healthy meal, onions should be served raw,
not deep-fried.
Deep-fried onions don't have that effect.
All fried foods are tasty.
That's right. All fried foods are tasty.
(Meanwhile, Hyun Su)
He took out Cheetos.
I will make a coating with this.
- The coating is for shrimp, right? - Yes.
It's interesting how he's making the coating with a snack.
Most snacks are made of corn,
starch, and potato.
- The fried food will be crispier. - I see.
(Blend spicy and sweet snack.)
(Mix frying mix and water to make a batter.)
(Coat shrimp with the frying mix, batter, and blended snack and fry.)
I will deep-fry shrimp...
while the patty cooks.
(This is music to the ears.)
He coated the shrimp with the snack.
Since the snack is already cooked,
it can burn very easily.
- It can turn black. - The temperature is key.
It can burn very easily.
(Cook bacon in a pan.)
To add a bit of texture,
I will use kimchi and fermented sole...
to create something like a salad.
It will be like a pickle.
(Mince rinsed kimchi, fermented sole, and pickled radish.)
I love that snack.
(Sam picks up a snack.)
(Blend spicy snack.)
Sam eats a lot of snacks.
He knows more about the uses of snacks than me.
He grew a lot.
- Does he know more than you? - Yes.
(Boil flour, butter, and milk in a pot.)
What are you pouring?
Milk.
Is he using milk?
He is adding cheese.
It looks like a cheese sauce that goes into...
macaroni and cheese.
Which cut of meat is that?
- It's bacon. - Bacon.
(Cook bacon on a grill pan.)
(Slice bacon and deep-fry in oil.)
(Sam asks for Unichef's help.)
(Whisk the cream cheese in a bowl.)
- Is that a batter? - He is making a dessert.
- A dessert. - He whisked whipped cream,
milk, and heavy cream.
(Add whipped cream and sugar.)
(Put the bowl on ice to make it cold.)
Sam's dish will be 20,000kcal.
- Milk, heavy cream, whipped cream. - Seriously.
(Add lemon zest and store in the freezer.)
He put cheese on the bun.
Wouldn't it be nice to toast the bun?
- He will deep-fry it. - I will deep-fry it anyway.
There is no need to toast it.
He will deep-fry it whole.
He will deep-fry something that has been fried already.
It will be dark.
Just give me oil.
- It stresses you out, right? - Yes.
It will help you maintain your dark circles.
It's not easy to maintain dark circles.
(That's my style.)
(Pile up the ingredients in the order of cooked patty,)
(relish, salad, mozzarella, grilled bacon, and bun.)
He is almost done with the burger.
It looks like a proper burger.
The theme is challenging.
Now... My goodness.
The burger is complete, but there is an extra step.
I will coat the burger in egg wash.
Just thinking about it...
He's coating it in the batter.
I will coat it in the batter.
- Now comes the dried laver. - You will wrap it in dried laver.
Dried laver.
- It will be a dark dish. - Are you serious?
Dried laver.
It will be a dark dish.
- It's a burger of darkness. - It needs to be dark.
- It needs to be dark. - It needs to be dark.
Will you fry that?
- I can't believe he will fry it. - It's going in.
(My goodness.)
It's going in.
- A burger of darkness. - All right.
(Fry the coated burger in oil.)
What do you think?
Looking at it...
(This is Burger with Laver.)
- All right. - Jung Hwan.
Please go out in the field. We have five minutes left.
(Sprinkle sugar on blueberries and caramelize with a torch.)
What is he torching?
I am sweetening them. They are for dessert.
He is sweetening them.
Sam's is done...
- with fried potato and onion. - Yes.
He is frying everything to eliminate nutrients.
It's the boss of fried food.
That's right.
- It will be tasty. - Yes, it will be tasty.
- It will be tasty. - It looks tasty.
Moms wouldn't let their children have it.
(Toast burger bun on an oiled grill pan.)
This one looks like a rock.
It has an impressive look.
You have had a Monte Cristo sandwich, right?
That's fried, too.
Chinese cuisine has mianbao xia, which is fried shrimp toast.
It requires skills to fry bread.
You need to fry it at a low temperature.
In terms of looks, Hyun Su's dish is winning.
My goodness.
- The fried shrimp looks pretty. - You are right. It looks nice.
Hyun Su is plating the dish.
Hyun Su's shrimp is ready.
- That's blended snack. - He is sprinkling blended snack.
Eat a lot of snacks.
(Laughing)
Cheese. Cheese.
- Cheese. Cheese. - Cheese. Cheese.
Sam wants us to look.
Cheese.
Soo Yong will need a medical checkup after eating this.
(But he's happy.)
(Mix relish and mayonnaise...)
(and put it on the grilled bun.)
You burnt it on purpose?
It's not burnt. It's just perfect.
- He says it's perfect. - Is that perfect?
- Is this perfect? - Yes.
It should be burnt to make dark circles.
- All right. - That looks good at least.
- Now, - Look at the cheese.
- there are about 40 seconds left. - Sam Donald's.
- Gosh. - About 40 seconds.
(Put the mix of relish and ketchup and garlic dipping sauce in bowls.)
(Hyun Su takes out the burger.)
(Before the crispiness goes away)
- About 40 seconds. Hyun Su... - Are you already done?
- Hyun Su is done. - Hyun Su is finished.
- Hyun Su is done. - What's that? A rice ball?
Sam is yet to finish it. That looks like a rock.
- Gosh. - It does look like a rock.
(At that time, Sam is...)
(Add whipped cream on what was being kept in the freezer.)
Torch, torch...
(And torch it.)
- Are you burning the cream? - 30 seconds are left.
He's torching the whipped cream.
- 20 seconds are left. - That's a good idea.
Because there is a lot of sugar in that.
- Five seconds are left. - As there is a lot of sugar.
Well, you should add the blueberries.
Oh, the blueberries.
Goodness. He almost forgot them. Jung Hwan saved him.
- 10, 9, - My goodness.
- 8, 7, - Sam is finished too.
- 6... - It's done now.
You almost forgot the blueberries.
Sam is finished too.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
It smells...
(Burgers from darkness appear.)
(It was a nice match.)
For goodness' sake.
(His heart is pounding.)
(A burger wrapped with laver and fried and fried shrimp)
(Chef Yu Hyun Su's Burger with Laver)
He's taking a closer look at it.
- It looks like a rock. - Or a fried laver roll.
Without the shrimp, it looks just like a grave.
- A burial mound. - A burial mound.
- The burial mound of a grave. - That's right.
- It's really a burger from death. - It certainly is.
(The burger surely reminds them of death.)
That's right.
- The chef is cutting for him. - It doesn't look oily.
- The knife goes in easily. - There is no oil.
- It looks better than I thought. - It didn't absorb oil.
The cheese is oozing out.
- It looks okay. - Is it okay?
- Good. - But this is...
- I can't wait. - You can't wait.
It's still very hot.
Is it?
Just like a heated rock?
My fingerprints might be gone.
(My fingerprints might be gone.)
Thank you for the food.
(A lot of cheese is squeezing out.)
(Munching)
(Savoring it with his eyes closed)
He's savoring it now.
(It's said that Soo Yong makes others lose their appetite.)
(His best compliment on food is...)
(It's quite good.)
(There should be "quite" added to the compliment.)
(Some people describe the tastes of foods like this.)
("I can smell the ocean.")
(He definitely refuses to use any metaphors.)
"The small octopus is dancing."
(Will Soo Yong say, "It's quite good"?)
(He can feel the dark energy.)
- Seok Jin, please interpret it. - Okay.
- He nodded several times. - Yes.
- It means, it's not bad. - It does?
I've never seen him nod like that.
You haven't seen that?
Fermented sole is put in here,
but the oil neutralizes the flavor well.
- Without oil, it could be fishy. - Right.
There is also kimchi in there.
I added kimchi, fermented sole, and pickled radish.
There is kimchi in here,
and it plays the role of salad.
That's what the kimchi does. It's not bad.
- It's not bad? - No.
- By "It's not bad"... - What is it?
- he's praising it highly. - Really?
"It's not bad", is high praise,
but I think he's not 100 percent satisfied yet.
Am I supposed to put this garlic sauce into the burger?
Yes, they're all the sauces for the burger.
- You can eat it... - Spread it on the burger.
either with garlic dipping sauce or tasty ketchup.
- Oh, garlic. - Let me try it...
- With sauce this time. - with sauce now.
- With the sauce. - Shall I try it?
The oil...
- His facial expression... - The facial expression...
Shall we look at it?
- 2 bite in a row. - 2 bites in a row means it's good.
- It means it's not bad. - Two bites in a row.
- "Good", "It's good", - "It's good."
or "It's quite good." He'll say one of the three.
I think so.
- "Good", "It's good", - "It's good."
or "It's quite good." He'll say one of the three.
- It's quite good. - "It's quite good."
(Oh, it's quite good.)
- "It's quite good." - Oh.
(It's quite good.)
- It must be good. - "It's quite good."
It's amazing.
- "Amazing"? - "Amazing"?
- What does that mean? - "It's amazing."
- I've never heard that before. - You haven't?
I was worried when he was cooking it,
but because he coated the bun with batter,
it's less oily than I thought.
- Does the laver play a big role? - I wonder too.
I think the laver blocked the oil well.
Now, the fried shrimp.
- Fried shrimp is always good. - Fried shrimp.
There is powdered snack in there too.
It sounds crunchy.
- Good. - "Good."
I didn't know it would taste like this with the snack.
(Taking another bite of the burger)
(Amazed)
A nutty flavor kicks in after I chew it for a while.
This is a very creative burger.
The burger is quite good.
- "The burger is quite good." - "Quite good."
He's eating it so well.
Because of the way it looks, when the burgers are sold at restaurants,
- it'll be popular on social media. - Exactly.
Because it looks unique.
- Young people would like it. - They'd like it.
They would like it a lot.
- Now, he's trying Sam's... - Sam Donald's.
Sam Donald's.
(A burger with plenty of cheese and blueberry dessert)
(Chef Sam Kim's Sam Donald's)
Try the potato and onion on the cheese.
The cheese is different.
You can dip the onion into the ketchup,
insert it between the buns, and eat them together.
(Silent)
You don't like it when it's too much of a hassle, right?
Of course not.
(You don't even need to ask.)
You can...eat it however you wish.
To evaluate fairly, let me rinse my mouth.
It's not because that's too greasy, is it?
- Warm sesame... - Do you want some Coke?
- Soda... - Yes, do you have it?
(A burger and Coke makes a great combination.)
- I bet he craves Coke now. - Give him a glass.
He suddenly craves Coke.
Soo Yong's fingers are shining.
During the break, I applied nail polish.
(Nail polish with burgers)
Let me try the potato first. This is potato, right?
- That potato looks so good. - Potato.
- You can eat it with ketchup or... - Or with cheese.
- This is onion, right? - Yes, onion.
- The onion is fried too, right? - Yes.
(Exclaiming)
(Looking curt)
- That doesn't mean it's not good. - Is that right?
Right. That's the facial expression he always make.
Anyone can be easily mistaken.
I'm supposed to put the onion in here, right?
(Putting the onion on the bun)
- Well... - With some ketchup.
- With some ketchup. - With some ketchup.
He put a lot of ketchup.
And bacon.
With that much ketchup?
- Gosh. - I love ketchup.
Now, Sam Donald's...
It does look like a real burger.
I really want to try it myself too.
I'm curious.
(Having a big bite)
I think the texture will be smooth.
When you see him, it looks like he doesn't like it so much, right?
- He looks angry. - But it doesn't mean it's bad.
He could do eating shows for those who are dieting.
Soo Yong is savoring it.
(He just keeps chewing it for a while.)
(Glancing)
Did he bite his tongue? No?
(He finally expressed something.)
He sounds amazed.
- How does it taste? - He hasn't exclaimed before.
In my mouth,
the ducks are...
flying.
(They're flying.)
He said...
Earlier, he said he didn't like those kinds of expression.
He said he didn't like...
- He complimented. - those cliches.
You didn't like expressions like "The small octopus is swimming."
They are the expressions I hate the most.
"It's dancing in my mouth."
- All right. - I can feel the scent of the duck.
- The scent of the duck? - Are the ducks flying?
I think Americans would like it even more than Koreans.
It must be full of favors.
- It's quite good. - "It's quite good."
There is dessert too.
The sweet dessert made of fruit can neutralize the greasy taste.
- I see. - Blueberries and milk.
I should take a big bite like this.
(Having a bite)
(Exclaiming)
(Smiling)
- Oh, he smiled. - Oh, wait.
- What's that? - It looks like he likes it.
He makes that expression when he didn't expect that kind of taste.
It's better than I expected.
- When it's good. - When it's good.
- He didn't expect that much. - When he saw it, he didn't...
expect that much, but he liked it when he tried it.
- He's putting it on the burger. - Gosh.
(He knows how to enjoy a burger.)
He's eating the burger with the dessert.
- Good. It's American style. - He usually eats like that.
- He does? - Do you like it?
- It's much better. - "Much better"?
There was cream cheese,
so I mixed it with whipped cream and lemon juice.
And you rolled blueberries on sugar.
Yes, I topped it with blueberries to add a fruity flavor.
Now, it's time for you to make a decision.
Gosh, it is tough.
- Is it? - Yes.
Each food has its own unique flavor.
(He's torn.)
He has to think about it.
Please press one to vote for Hyun Su's Burger with Laver...
and press two to vote for Sam's Sam Donald's.
Please make up your mind and press the button.
(It's time to pick one.)
Burger with Laver versus Sam Donald's.
He pressed it.
Who did he choose?
Let's find out the result. Please show it to us.
"Burgers of Darkness That Will Help Him Maintain the Dark Circles."
Which one did Soo Yong choose?
Who's the winner?
(Chef Sam Kim won.)
(Sam Donald's won.)
It's Sam Donald's. Sam Donald's won.
- I knew it. - Sam Donald's won.
What played the critical role in making your decision?
This burger was good too,
but if I hadn't tasted the dessert,
I might have pressed a different button.
He spread it on the burger, and I guess that made the difference.
Yes, I gave extra points to that.
In fact, blueberries...
had to be added.
I think I was lucky.
Sam became the winner. He'll be presented with a star badge.
- Sam has won eight times now. - Congratulations.
He is the outright leader.
Sam is the outright leader.
(Make the patty with smoked duck, pork belly, bacon, and mozzarella.)
(Deep-fry sliced potato and onion and top with cheese sauce.)
(Make a burger with relish, mayonnaise, cheese, and patty.)
Now comes the second match...
that uses Soo Yong's fridge.
To send Soo Yong to Southeast Asia,
Ho Young and Se Deuk will compete against each other.
I think the theme gives Se Deuk...
a bit of an advantage.
He has a branch of his restaurant in Vietnam.
I heard that he says...
he is Park Hang Seo of the chefs.
- Park Hang Seo of the chefs. - Yes.
He tells his employees to refrain from bowing.
My goodness.
Shouldn't he have a handicap...
if he has a branch of his restaurant in Vietnam?
- I will deduct 10 points. - You will deduct 10 points?
Already?
(Happy)
I went to that restaurant.
They serve bulgogi hot pot.
(Laughing)
Do they serve bulgogi hot pot?
Yes. It has nothing to do with Vietnamese cuisine.
Really?
It's Korean food made with Vietnamese ingredients.
(He comes clean.)
Only the ingredients are Vietnamese.
Ho Young,
I don't think you've ever made Southeast Asian food.
I don't think I have seen that.
The neighborhood where he runs his restaurant, Yeonnam-dong,
is the holy land of Southeast Asian cuisine.
- It's the holy land. - He runs his restaurant there.
Does he run his restaurant there?
I will deduct 20 points.
(He is incredulous.)
Who will be the winner?
(Ho Young chose blue crab, milk, fish sauce, cilantro, dried shrimp,)
(beef rib sauce, cucumber, shrimp, pasta, curry,)
(bacon, and beer.)
(Se Deuk chose blue crab, cilantro, tom yum paste, fish sauce,)
(dried shrimp, kkakdugi, thinly sliced pork belly, shrimp,)
(cherry tomatoes, shredded squid, and ramyeon noodles.)
Ho Young, what kind of dish will you make?
The dish I will make today is...
It's My Winning Nasi Goreng.
- It's nasi goreng. - Nasi goreng.
- Yes. - You will make nasi goreng.
Yes, I will make nasi goreng.
I will make another dish with blue crabs.
I will make pu pad pong curry.
- It's really tasty. - You're making that dish?
Since Soo Yong thinks it's a hassle...
- to pick the crabs for crab meat, - That's right.
I will take out the crab meat and fry it...
for his convenience.
Since he likes noodles, I will add pasta.
That way, he will be able to enjoy noodles.
On top of nasi goreng, I will add...
crispy fried egg.
There are many fried dishes today.
(He has an upset stomach.)
Your dark circles became more pronounced.
- The dishes were successful. - I see.
The dishes helped you maintain your dark circles.
Se Deuk, you are going against him.
What kind of dish will you make?
The name of the dish I will make is...
Goong Fu Panda.
(Goong Fu Panda)
- Goong Fu Panda. - Yes.
- Is it a Chinese dish? - No.
"Goong" means "Shrimp" in Thai.
"Fu" or "Pu" means "Crab".
Ho Young said he will make pu pad pong curry.
It's stir-fried crab curry.
I will use shrimp and crab...
to make a noodle dish that is hot in Bangkok right now,
tom yum noodles.
I will make tom yum ramyeon.
- Ramyeon. - Tom yum ramyeon.
- Tom yum ramyeon. - Tom yum ramyeon.
I have never had it. I want to try it.
I will make two sauces.
One will be a Thai dipping sauce...
that contains fish sauce.
The other one will be Vietnamese pickled garlic.
When you go to Vietnam, pickled garlic is served...
with pho. I will make that.
Let's begin the match.
Park Hang Seo of chefs, Se Deuk will show...
his magic...
and Ho Young will make Soo Yong...
smile from ear to ear upon eating his dish.
Who will be the master of Southeast Asian cuisine?
We will now start the cook-off for Southeast Asian dishes!
(We will now start the cook-off for Southeast Asian dishes!)
(Boil green onion, onion and chili pepper powder in oil.)
- That's chili oil. - He will make his dish spicy.
Is that chili oil?
It will be spicy and nice.
(Impressed)
He is adding blue crabs to the pot.
Is he frying them?
- He is boiling them. - I see.
He will boil them and squeeze out the crab meat.
He will fry the crab meat...
- he squeezed out, right? - Yes.
Then Soo Yong will be able to eat it in one bite.
(Put lemon peels in the pan.)
(Cut a blue crab in half and push out crab meat.)
He is pushing out crab meat.
I decided to use this tactic...
since he doesn't like to pick crabs for meat.
You did the work for him.
- Oh, just the meat? - He pushed out crab meat.
He won't use the shells.
- It will be convenient to eat. - That's right.
He is making broth...
with the shells.
He is making broth.
(Blend Cheongyang pepper, red pepper, garlic, and fish sauce.)
(Add chili oil and the blended mixture to the pan.)
It looks like Ho Young's dish will be spicy.
I know.
When you make a stir-fry,
you need to cook the fragrant ingredients first.
I see.
You need to add the ingredients when the pan is hot...
to bring out the aroma.
(Add crab broth and milk to make curry sauce.)
Are you adding milk...
- to pu pad pong curry? - Yes, I am.
Coconut milk is usually used, but I substituted it with milk...
because Soo Yong didn't have any.
They are using the ingredients from Soo Yong's fridge, right?
That's right.
(Who received the task to pick out crab meat?)
Please do this.
- Okay. - Kkakdugi.
(Hoon becomes Unichef for the first time.)
- Hoon is working... - He looks graceful.
as Unichef.
Isn't it your first time to work as Unichef?
- Yes. - Right?
He still can't hear other people's comments.
- Seriously. - Your hands move very slowly...
when you are working on someone else's dish.
- He is taking his sweet time. - Seriously.
"This isn't my dish."
He is doing something else.
He is working on the crab.
He needs to pick out crab meat.
- It's a tedious task. - That's right.
Ho Young gave him many tasks.
(Ho Young gave him many tasks.)
"It's about time you do something like this."
He is getting crab meat from the boiled blue crab.
Does that method work for boiled crabs?
Of course.
- I didn't know. - So that's how you do it?
The method is different from the one Se Deuk used.
- That's right. It was a raw crab. - Se Deuk did this with a raw crab.
Ho Young is doing this with a boiled crab.
Using boiled crab for that method can be dangerous...
- because of the crab shells. - They might get mixed together?
Using boiled crab...
- is more dangerous. - You can get more crab shells.
- The probability is higher. - Please be careful.
(Careful)
(He puts a piece in his mouth.)
Why are you eating the ingredient?
He has what he needs.
Gosh, Hoon.
That's a leftover.
You are a glutton.
(Flustered)
- He is a glutton. - Seriously.
(Add shrimp to the curry sauce.)
(Boil pasta in the crab broth.)
He is using pasta.
Pasta.
I will boil pasta and add it to pu pad pong curry.
(Blend garlic, red pepper, sugar, dried shrimp, and fish sauce.)
(Blend with tom yum paste and water to make tom yum goong sauce.)
Se Deuk, are you making soup? What is that?
- It's tom yum goong sauce. - Tom yum goong sauce.
Gosh, it smells sour.
When you are craving kimchi stew,
tom yum goong is a good substitute.
- That's right. It is. - It really is.
I will add kkakdugi sauce.
- Kkakdugi. - Kkakdugi sauce.
It will give the dish a sour taste.
Kkakdugi sauce and fish sauce are making...
an incredible aroma.
(The fantastic combination of fish sauce and kkakdugi sauce)
(Powerful)
Is he doing that because he doesn't have time?
- There is a performance factor. - That's right.
When you crush pepper,
it yields more juice and makes the dish fragrant.
(Mix minced garlic, sliced peppers, fish sauce, lemon juice, sugar,)
(and cilantro to make a dipping sauce.)
- He has incredible knife skills. - That's right.
Se Deuk is good.
He is making a sauce.
Se Deuk is making a sauce.
I feel like I am in Southeast Asia.
In Southeast Asia,
they add sliced peppers to fish sauce.
When you add a bit to fried rice...
- It's addictive. - Yes.
- It's really tasty. - That's right.
(Hyun Su works as Unichef.)
(Slice garlic on a mandoline slicer.)
(Add sugar, Cheongyang pepper, red pepper, soy sauce,)
(and vinegar to make pickled garlic.)
That's a nice sauce.
- It looks tasty. - It's one of the side dishes...
- you get in Southeast Asia. - One of the side dishes.
(Microwave instant rice.)
(Stir-fry sliced bacon, green onion, onion, and rice in a pan.)
(Ho Young began to make nasi goreng.)
Ho Young makes incredible fried rice.
- Japanese cuisine. - He is good at Japanese cuisine,
so I think it was smart of him to choose fried rice.
That's cilantro.
- It's for nasi goreng. - Nasi goreng.
He added cilantro to fried rice.
(Fry pork belly in oil.)
- Did you fry the meat in oil? - Yes, I did.
(Fried pork belly is complete.)
He fried pork belly in oil.
What is that for?
I will add it to ramyeon.
You will add it to ramyeon.
In Southeast Asia,
meat is often fried in oil...
without any coating.
(Add thinly sliced pork belly, egg, starch, and soy sauce to a blender.)
(Add sliced green onion and blend...)
(to make the meatball mixture.)
Is that meatball?
- Yes. - You are adding meatballs.
What kind of meat did you use?
- Pork. - Pork.
(Pork meatball)
(Cook ramyeon noodles)
(Crush cherry tomatoes for juice.)
(Add cherry tomato juice and shredded squid.)
Se Deuk added dried shredded squid to the soup.
- Dried shredded squid? - Dried shredded squid?
Of course. Tom yum noodles usually contain squid.
- Hence the dried shredded squid. - Yes.
(How is Ho Young doing?)
(Blend shrimp.)
(Mix crab meat, beer, flour, blended shrimp,)
(and beef rib sauce.)
(Shape the batter into balls and fry in oil.)
He is frying something.
Ho Young, what are you frying?
I am frying crab meat and shrimp mixture.
I see.
(Everyone cries out in anticipation.)
Fried crab meat and shrimp mixture is bound to be tasty.
It'll be awesome.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
There is not much time left.
- Please go out to the field. - Five minutes left.
Will the foods make Soo Yong feel the taste of Southeast Asia?
I'm here in the field now.
It's Ho Young versus Se Deuk.
I was the most curious about this.
Se Deuk's soup...
with ramyeon.
It should be seasoned more.
More seasoning is needed.
Can you feel the taste of Southeast Asia?
I can feel the fragrance.
- You can? - I can, but...
- You're going to season it more? - Yes.
- It's already strong. - No, it's not.
- What do you mean? - It already has a strong flavor.
Already?
Hold on. I forgot what I should add.
- He forgot? - Fish sauce.
The man with a great memory forgot something.
- It was fish sauce. - Fish sauce.
That could have been critical.
- It's important. - I think it's already strong.
Is it because of the kkakdugi juice?
Maybe.
- The pasta noodles. - It's strange.
Ho Young is taking out the noodles.
He's sweating a lot. He feels hot.
This is pu pad pong curry. Let me taste it now.
- I'm so curious about that taste. - This one.
There were not many ingredients,
but it looks a lot like the food in Southeast Asia.
Will Soo Yong be able to feel the taste of Southeast Asia?
Yes, he will.
(He'll be able to feel the taste.)
It's really good.
Can you feel the taste of the food in Thailand?
- Absolutely. - "Absolutely"?
And it's spicy.
It's amazing because Soo Yong didn't have many ingredients.
He did a good job. Ho Young did a really good job.
All right.
Look at this.
(Make a fried egg by almost deep-frying it.)
(Put the ramyeon noodles into a pot.)
The ramyeon noodles are put in.
There are less than three minutes left now.
He's taking it out. What was this?
- It's fried crab meat. - Fried crab meat.
This will taste great without a doubt.
That will surely taste good. It can't taste bad.
(Panting)
(Add the pasta noodles into the pu pad pong curry.)
The soup is getting thinner.
- The soup is thinner now. - The eggs...
Would you taste it one more time?
- Shall I taste it once more? - Okay.
- That's too much egg. - Eggs need to go in the curry.
(Will it still have a strong flavor?)
Is it still strong?
It does have the flavor of Southeast Asia.
Then it must be good.
- Yes, it has a unique flavor. - That's amazing.
It's definitely the taste of the food we eat in Southeast Asia.
How can it taste like that with Soo Yong's ingredients?
- I don't understand. - Me neither.
It's so amazing.
There are a minute and 40 seconds left.
(Add beaten eggs and stir-fry it.)
(Quietly helping)
Gosh, Hoon is doing a lot to help him.
He was helping him a lot.
Why isn't it boiling yet?
It's not boiling yet. It should come to a boil quickly.
(Taking emergency action)
- Gosh, it must come to a boil now. - Indeed.
50 seconds are left.
(Ho Young starts to plate his food.)
Where are the crab shells?
Ho Young is plating the food while sweating a lot.
The sweat is getting into Ho Young's eyes now.
He's sweating buckets.
There are 30 seconds left.
(Add thinly sliced lemon, eggs, and cilantro to the soup.)
- That's too much cilantro. - Se Deuk is adding cilantro.
It still needs to come to a boil.
There are 10 seconds left.
- 10, 9, - 10, 9...
- Se Deuk is done. - 8, 7,
- 6, 5, 4, 3, - 6, 5, 4, 3,
- 2, 1. - 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Time's up.
- Se Deuk finished it first. - He wrapped up the plating.
- That was exciting. - Right.
Both of them are finished.
They do look like the food in Southeast Asia.
They both did a great job.
- The tom yum goong sauce. - Yes, he had that sauce.
- Gosh, it's incredible. - Isn't it?
It really smells like pu pod pong curry.
- That's right. - I'm getting my hopes up.
- You are, right? - I can smell the scent.
They sure look like the food in Southeast Asia.
First, he's going to taste...
Se Deuk's Goong Fu Panda.
(The combination of hot and sour tom yum goong sauce and ramyeon)
(Chef Oh Se Deuk's Goong Fu Panda that will remind him of Bangkok)
- The taste of the soup is critical. - Exactly.
The soup accounts for more than half of the taste.
I changed the tom yum goong sauce a little bit...
by adding shrimp, garlic, and ginger to create that taste.
- Will it have the vibe... - Mix them well.
of Southeast Asia?
Will that be the taste Soo Yong's expecting?
Tom yum goong has its own unique flavor.
(Impressed)
- Can you feel it? - What is it?
Can you feel the flavor or not?
(Wait, this taste is...)
He's made a different facial expression.
- It's an emergency. - I've never seen that.
(He tries it once more without replying.)
- This taste... - Okay.
- In Bangkok... - Go on.
Do you know a place called Chatuchak Market?
- Chatuchak Market? - Yes, Chatuchak Market.
- Chatuchak Market. - Chatuchak Market.
- You don't know? - I don't.
- A traditional market. - What? Oh, yes, it is.
- A traditional market. - The prices are so low there.
After walking around while shopping,
- You get tired. - you get tired.
Then you order tom yum goong in a humble restaurant.
This is the taste that you'd feel in that situation.
- The local taste. - The taste locals like.
The taste of the soup that relieves the fatigue.
Before he knew it,
he expressed it in the way he said he hates the most.
Did I?
I was so surprised.
He said he didn't like such expressions.
- I hate them so much. - "Hate them so much"?
- It just slipped out of my mouth. - I know.
- It came out naturally. - I'm so curious about the taste.
Gosh, I'd like to applaud for this.
- It's that good. - You like it so much.
- He's highly praising it. - Eat it while it's boiling.
I want to learn how to make it.
- You like it that much? - That much?
This is just like the noodle people line up for in Thailand.
You have to wait in line for a long time even at night.
- Is that so? - Yes.
He's trying it with the noodles now.
My mouth is watering.
It can't be helped.
- You hate exclaiming like that. - Did you just exclaim?
- I didn't know he'd make the sound. - Why are you working so hard?
I didn't expect that.
That's not how you normally react.
Please edit this out.
(Laughing)
- Gosh. - What?
- Are you embarrassed now? - Yes, I'm embarrassed.
(He feels embarrassed.)
I've never seen that kind of reaction, so I was flustered.
He may dance at this rate.
- He may do a wave dance. - He might dance.
They...
(Maybe like this?)
He's really dancing.
Then is this better than "It's quite good"?
"It's quite good. I want to eat it again."
- "I want to eat it again." - "I want to eat it again."
Seriously, this is...
(The dark energy is back now.)
This...
"This..."
should cost more than 1,000 baht.
- Okay. - "1,000 baht"?
- How much is it? - "1,000 baht".
How much is it in US dollars?
- About 37 dollars. - 37 dollars?
- 37 dollars? - 37 dollars.
What are the sauces on the side for?
You're supposed to eat the noodles with the pickled garlic...
and other ingredients with the sauce with cilantro.
- Pork or... - Things like meatballs?
- The meatballs. - He's eating the meatball first.
- I should eat it with this sauce? - Yes.
- They are pork meatballs, right? - Yes.
Yes.
Thank you for the food.
He wants to fully enjoy the food of Southeast Asia.
(Cracking)
- Is it a bone? - What is this?
- What's going on? - What was that sound?
Goodness. Did his tooth crack?
(Flustered)
- There was a cracking sound. - There must be a bone in the pork.
Are you taking out your molar?
- Gosh, a molar? - Of all the meat...
- Is it a bone? - That's absurd.
- It's not a bone, but cartilage. - Cartilage.
- My teeth are okay. - He says it's okay.
What do you think?
Is he upset or not?
- He's upset, but holding it back. - Is he?
- Maybe. - Because there are many cameras.
As we can't read his mind...
Please eat the noodles with the pickled garlic.
- The noodles? - Yes.
All right. He's eating them with the pickled garlic.
(Slurping)
(Please show your reaction.)
- I prefer... - Eating the noodles alone?
eating the noodles without the sauce.
- I see. - I personally prefer that.
Where is the crab meat?
I cooked the crab meat that was squeezed out of the shell.
- He put in the squeezed crab meat. - Oh, this?
- He rolled the crab. - With the roe?
Right.
- It'll be great with the soup. - That sounds good.
- That looks great. - The shape is not ruined.
- That must be good. - It still keeps the shape.
(Smacking his lips)
- He's trying it now. - The roe.
(He's tasting it while everyone is getting their hopes up.)
He's frowning while eating.
You don't like it?
(The food critic of darkness...)
(is pondering.)
- It's not that good? - In my mouth...
(The comment he hates so much starts again.)
You said you don't want to say those things.
- You don't like such comments. - You don't usually do that.
- In my mouth, - Is it dancing in your mouth again?
- the crab... - Is it dancing?
is walking sideways.
(It feels like the crab is walking sideways in my mouth.)
- "Walking sideways"? - Gosh.
He's someone who detests making comments like these.
- It's quite good. - "It's quite good."
"It's quite good."
"It's quite good. I want to eat it again."
Good.
(Nasi goreng, pu pod pong curry, and fried crab meat and shrimp)
(Chef Jeong Ho Young's It's My Winning Nasi Goreng)
I think this one's going to taste great too. The smell was good.
I smelled it a moment ago.
It smelled just like pu pod pong curry.
- Just like it? - That's incredible.
- This is... - That looks really good.
- Fried crab meat. - fried crab meat.
It's the mixture of crab meat and shrimp.
Oh, crab meat and shrimp.
- Crab meat plus shrimp. - "Crab meat plus shrimp".
(Crunchy)
(What is this?)
Does it taste weird?
(Soo Yong tastes fried crab meat and shrimps first.)
(What is this?)
Does it taste weird?
- It tastes like Chinese food. - Chinese food?
- Yes. - It could taste like that.
You know that square thing?
- Mianbao xia. - It's like mianbao xia.
- It tastes like that. - Mianbao xia.
He first tried fried crab meat and shrimp.
What's important is this nasi goreng and pasta noodles.
- That's the main dish. - Right.
- Let me try the rice first. - Try the nasi goreng.
Soo Yong's trying nasi goreng.
It must be well-cooked.
Is that something he wanted to eat?
(Impressed)
Is this Annam rice?
- Annam rice. - Annam rice.
- It's South East Asian rice. - Yes.
This is Korean rice, but it tastes like Annam rice.
(It's very well-cooked although it's not Annam rice.)
I think it would have been better without bacon.
- Why? - Does it taste bad there?
It doesn't taste like a South East Asian dish.
He's quite sharp on that.
It's a dish for Thai-Americans who have migrated to the US.
(It tastes like a dish for Thai-Americans in the US.)
- You think it's Americanized? - Right.
- You still have pasta to try. - Right.
Ho Young's dish is all about pasta.
- Pu pad pong curry. - That's Ho Young's killer move.
- Let me rinse my mouth first. - Goodness.
He's rinsing his mouth with cilantro.
(Soo Yong refreshes his mouth with cilantro.)
He's refreshing his mouth.
- He looks like a panda. - He likes cilantro.
He looks like a panda. It's like he's eating bamboo leaves.
- His mouth is refreshed. - Right.
Let's see how good Ho Young's pu pad pong curry is.
With pasta noodles...
- It smells... - Nice?
It smells like South East Asia here.
(Soo Yong tries pasta with a straight face.)
(Chuckling)
- You're smiling. - Why is he smiling?
- What's wrong? - What happened?
Where are you this time? You've been to Chatuchak Market.
- This is made with pasta noodles. - Right.
It's like I walked into a restaurant in Bangkok,
(Soo Yong walks into a restaurant in some alley in Bangkok.)
and the chef there is Italian.
(What's going on? The chef is Italian.)
But he's making Thai food.
He's been there as an illegal alien for about three years.
- An Italian guy? - Yes.
In Bangkok?
He's making money illegally with his tourist visa.
It's like some street food I'd have...
before I get a 30-dollar foot massage.
It tastes just like that.
I see.
The sauce is just perfect.
Okay, then.

- Soo Yong picked Se Deuk's dish. - Yes.
Ho Young's dish was very good.

(Cut crabs into half and deshell to get flesh.)
(Add lemon peels with oil on a frying pan.)
(Add water to make a broth.)
(Blend garlic, chili, dried shrimps and fish sauce all together.)
(Add the blended content to the frying pan.)
(Boil noodles and add them at the end.)
Let me tell you about Seok Jin.
(He's a Korean Wave star who's 50 years old.)
(He even went for a fan meeting in Taiwan.)
(I'm only saying this because you asked me.)
(He's shy to brag about himself.)
You've been on a private jet before?
(I have to tell you because you are asking me a question.)
(I'm here as a guest.)
(Should we just skip this?)
Should we skip the part about the private jet, then?
(But I want people to know what it's like to be on a private jet.)
(He's a monster who wants to brag.)
(The Korean Wave star's fridge)
(Excited)
(Please open it now.)
(I'm getting all dizzy.)
(Let's take a look inside the Korean Wave star's fridge.)
These are all from...
- your fans. - No.
He surely is a Korean Wave star.
Here it is.
I bought that myself.
(Is this from his overseas fans?)
(Stop mentioning the Korean Wave.)
(I bought that myself!)
(It's a sad truth.)
(I hate exaggerating.)
(Eyes wide open)
(Check out Seok Jin's honest reactions next week.)
- Did you see his face? - My goodness.
He's shocked.
(Chef and My Fridge)
